tricks to get a ring signal when someone connects via telnet to the
terminal server. E.g. it may be enough to use DTR from the treminal
server to initiate a ring tone generator on the POTS line between the
modems. Or get a old == cheap small analog PBX...
It won't work to just plug the modems together by their phone jacks. You
still need line voltage or else they won't work.
